How can I set a fixed width on a table in Dreamweaver CS3?

The title is the question.

I want to be able to type inside the table without having it expand when the text reached the edge. Instead I want the width to be fixed so that the text automatically goes on to the next line every time.

Thanks.

 

Go to the code and where it says <table> change it to <table width=x> where x is how wide in pixels you want it to be.

 

Didn't work. Here's the code:

<table width="342" height="264" border="1">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

I did what you said and the table still continues to expand when the text reaches it's border instead of going on to the next line.

 

Try a no-wrap style. You should really brush up on Cascading Style Sheets for styling your sites:

Easier to fix stuff in the long run

 

I advise you to use no-wrap style.

If still does not work then try to give width and height without double quotes.
